Here is a sample system from the IBM site, Note that all parts are generic so you have no idea what you are paying for. Do yourself a favor, call Dell, Compaq, HP, etc, and ask them what brand CDRW drive is in the system, or the brand of ram they are using. They won't know because they purchase by the price and not quality or brand.  From the Asus Motherboards to the Altec Lansing Speakers, True PC's are Quality parts inside and out!!.
